MDC MP Priscilla Misihairabwi-Mushonga has taken to task President Robert Mugabe’s Zanu PF party over its insulting women who fought in the liberation struggle.
She added her voice to those criticising Zanu PF for belittling the role of female combatants of the country’s liberation war following State media’s so-called “exposés” of former Vice-President Joice Mujuru’s alleged sexcapades during the liberation war.
In an interview with journalists in Bulawayo yesterday, Misihairabwi-Mushonga said allegations that Mujuru was a bed-hopper were an insult to all women who participated in the liberation struggle as it insinuated they were sex slaves to the freedom fighters.
“For a ruling party that has been for years drumming into people’s minds the issue of the importance of the liberation struggle, and 36 years later to begin to reduce the liberation struggle to a sleeping contest is to destroy the entire legacy of the liberation struggle,” Misihairabwi-Mushonga said.
“They are now simply saying women that participated during the liberation struggle were nothing but sex slaves who only made male fighters comfortable, and yet all along they have been claiming they stand for women rights. They are destroying the fundamental values of empowerment and recognition of women,” Misihairabwi Mushonga said.
She said the fact that the story denigrating Mujuru was covered on the front page of a State-owned publication showed the extent that female freedom fighters were being looked down upon.
“Why are they not telling us the whole chronicles of which male fighter was sleeping with whom during the liberation struggle?” Misihairabwi-Mushonga asked.
“What Rutanhire implied in his utterances is that even a whole Retired General Solomon Mujuru who is buried at the national shrine was not a freedom fighter, but was basically fighting sex battles and sending people to the front to be killed for allegedly bedding Mujuru (Joice).”
She said the culture of denigrating female fighters by talking about their alleged sex life, while that of men was kept under wraps was unfair and an insult to all women in Zimbabwe. Newsday

Well said fadzi but am afraid chero kumusha kwake kwaakabva shona hater uyoo havatodi chero kumuona. Akadzokera vanoswera vamudhedha zimsoro rake rinenge remhashu nekuda kwekusaziva zvaanotaura.
You Shona hater speak for yourself. You’re just a foreigner in Zimbabwe, if you are pissed off just go back where your ancestors came from. I am sick of your derogatory comments against Shonas of which I am one. You insult our tribe for no reason. I plead with ZimEye not to publish such counter revolutionary statements. Dzokera to South Africa where you great grand father Mzilikazi came from. Some of us don’t even want Ndebele women and never dream of fucking them, they’re lazy and of lose character to befit the essence of a true wife. Pfoetseki mhani!

Priscilla what do you expect of Shona men? They evil bastards who seem to think fcuking is an achievement in a Shona men’s life. Look how they all shout on top of their voices when ever they “achieve” in fcuking a Mthwakazi woman. Its every Shona boy’s lifetime ambition to fuck a Mthwakazi or a South African woman. They are heavily self inflicted with deep seated inferiority complexes. Sies!!
